The Partners at Starburns Industries, which include Dan Harmon, creator of NBC´s Community, and Dino Stamatopoulos, creator of the animated series´ Moral Orel and Mary Shelley´s Frankenhole, have acquired the rights to a play written by Charlie Kaufman entitled, Anomalisa.

Dan Harmon and Dino Stamatopoulos will Executive Produce the project and frequent Starburns collaborator Duke Johnson will direct. Kaufman will come on board to produce and oversee the project once financing has been secured.

The company has created a teaser video for the project that has already garnered more than 1200 backers on Kickstarter and over $100,000.00 in less than 48 hours. The company hopes to raise over $200,000 by the end of the project´s 60 day run.

The team believes crowd sourced funding will allow them to maintain the purity of Kaufman´s original vision. “I´m ecstatic to have the slightest hand in bringing more Kaufman to more people. I´m even more excited about the ramifications of this project´s success. It feels like viewers and creatives waking up from a hundred year nightmare to find out they´ve been spooning the whole time.” says Dan Harmon, Executive Producer.

The company will also be promoting the project at this weekend´s Comic Con conference in San Diego. To view the video teaser and support the project, visit
